This is the game with which the Bitmap Brothers created one of the most notorious Euro-shmups ever. It is also the first game to license a song from the music charts!
It is still the main reason to play the game, just as it was back then. It is also the only song in the game, so you will hear it every time you play.
The song is Megablast by Bomb The Bass.
It's still in the game because Bomb the Bass helped to port the song for Xenon 2 back then! It's hard to imagine something like that today!
What's also hard to imagine today is how much the sound of the song blew us away back then! At the time, we only knew “beep music” like that of Bubble Bobble, Tetris, Mario Bros., and the like.
And then came Megablast. And the Amiga showed what it was really capable of. A revelation that today can perhaps only be achieved by a combination of 4k resolution with RTX in VR.
I'm totally serious about that, by the way! lol
So why does it have nostalgic value? It's simple: the Bitmap Brothers were the rock stars of all developer studios at the time, and every game the brothers made is therefore worth preserving, even if they haven't aged well or were never really that good!
Thanks for reading, and now go to YouTube and listen to the song! It doesn't matter which version...
